Land of Stories 4

fantastica wrote:^ are you sure your Target store won't carry this book at all? Is there an Australian Target store online you can check? If not, I can help you too. I have 2 small boxes from Amazon that are big enough for the book. I already have to do it for Marie, so I can do it for you too, without much additional trouble. Check your PM.

I have checked and they have nothing on their website.

Thank you so much if you could do this for me Kim.

Kim, you could start a nice little business with this. Just charge a few bucks more for every book you ship to Europe, and you'll be rich before you know it.  

Just kidding, as you really are:



But I do hope this PR stuff with bonus chapters in seperate special editions is limited to TLoS4 only. 

Besides having to buy the same book 2-3 times (plus maybe the audiobook too) for fans outside of the USA it's extremely difficult to buy each version without help from American friends/connections. On top of that the shipping costs are usually a lot more than what the book costs itself, which makes it all quite expensive.
Plus as each different version has to be purchased at different stores it's impossible to get all the books you want to complete the 'set' (like the 2 different special editions and the audiobook, and maybe even a signed one) shipped in one big order/package, which would greatly reduce the shipping costs. And none of those shipping costs will benefit Chris' purse in any way. 

Fortunely I recently got some extra money to indulge myself, but next year I might have to pass on any special editions.
I love Chris' creative mind to bits and pieces, and want to read every word he writes, but there are limits to how much I can spend on him, and I'm sure that's true for many fans, especially the younger ones.

Have no idea what this is but still excited to see Sold Out next to Chris's book.

Should be, considering the sword and Merlin.

I have to say, those preview illustrations are simply gorgeous. Chris' literary/book publisher/media people are doing such a great job with this latest release.

Professional top notch job by all.

My bookstore finally made the book available, not the audio one yet, but the book. So hoping their warehouse is quick and our postal services efficient. (Like that is going to happen!) Hopefully in the beginning of next week or if I'm really lucky then before friday, the copy will be mine!

Adlibris.com can deliver to Finland, Sweden and Norway. Go and make Beyond Kingdoms bestselling foreign language book!

There is a customs strike all over Australia which means I cannot get my book and probably won't get any copy of the book.

The strike started June 30 and looks like it could go on for months.

I looked on one book site and the book will come out there 3rd August next month.

My lovely best friend/housemate just bought the ebook for me, so now I can read it.

I have to do it on his Ipad, but this was so nice of him to do.

He has to wait for two parcels from overseas that are also in custom and I wish I could get them for him.

Happy release day!!!

@chriscolfer It doesn’t get cuter than this! #TLOS4

^ which ranking is that?

^Amazon.  
(And this is while Amazon still maintains their policy in delaying delivering books from certain publishing companies, plus when both Barnes&Noble and Target have special editions!)

Chris Colfer's new book lands in top 10

Here's a look at what's new on USA TODAY's Best-Selling Books list…

King of 'Kingdoms': Chris Colfer has plenty to be gleeful about when it comes to his writing career. His The Land of Stories: Beyond the Kingdoms (Little, Brown) lands at No. 10, his highest debut. (The full list will publish on Thursday.)

Beyond the Kingdoms is the fourth book in a series for young readers about twins who have magical encounters with the fairy-tale characters they've read about. In the new book, Alex and Conner Bailey pursue a "Masked Man" with help from Goldilocks, Red Riding Hood and Mother Goose.

The series' previous peak was No. 29 with book three, A Grimm Warning, last summer.
Colfer, 25, who played Kurt Hummel on Glee, is on a multi-city book tour that ends July 18 in Los Angeles. In a recent interview with the Phoenix New Times, he said, "I did nothing but watch TV and movies when I was a kid, and I think it's really what made me a good storyteller."

He has a busy fall ahead as a storyteller, too. The Curvy Tree, a debut picture book, arrives on Oct. 27 from Little, Brown. It's based on an original fairy tale of the same name from The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell.

And on Nov. 24, Adventures from the Land of Stories Boxed Set: The Mother Goose Diaries and Queen Red Riding Hood's Guide to Royalty will be published, containing two new books.
